Look!!! A smiley, Get a sense of Humour Leon, I happen to have 2 heralds, the
aforementioned estate(yes, very rusty!!!) and a 1200 Saloon(Yes, the hum drum
saloon, not the much more desirable CONVERTIBLE!!!) which is part way through
being rebuilt, that too is very rusty but it has a lot of sentimental value,
ie, the girlfriends first car!!!
>Oh yes Mr. Jackson, of course, the Herald is the ONLY Triumph that rots, none
>of the others do.
I NEVER said that!!!!
>I'm sure everyone knows that. Therefore, I agree with you.
>You are quite right, everyone should avoid Heralds like the plauge,
And, I NEVER said THAT either!!! I actually enjoy driving a Herald as much as a
Spitfire thankyou!
>and rush
>out and invest their hard earned pennies in lovely Spitfires like your yellow
>one!
What, You mean my knackered MkIV, that I paid 200 quid for, has lasted me for
over 4 years, and provided alot of enjoyment, Oh, sorry I can't afford to spent
30,000+ grand on a sodding rebuild, my humble appologises for being a
peasant!!!
>Naturally there is no absolutely NO rot on your Spitfire, just those special

>year was it again ?
1973, thanks!
>Please stick to Spitfires and leave those rusty old Heralds to enthusiats like
>me and Andy to enjoy.
Oh, I wish I was an enthusiast like you!!! What's up Leon, are you
pre-menstrual or something!!!
Sorry everyone else, bad morning!
Rich
ps, leon, stick to what YOU do best, plugging the TSSC!!!
